While we don't know a whole lot about what happened, it seems thay Mr. Frein was holding a grudge after being arrested for felony theft. So in reality, he's just a criminal with a grudge. Or were you hoping to make someone labeling him a "survivalist" significant? Or perhaps we could make something of his apparent interest in portraying a cold war Eastern European soldier. During the cold war, Eastern European forces fell under the control of the Communists. However, we likely wont get much in the way of details until he is either in jail, or in the ground.
